2.) In the 'Extension Options' option below, you can adjust the intensity of the filter. If you choose to enable the intense filter, it will filter all incendiary terms or phrases from a list I found online. Note that this filter is quite sensitive and is generally only recommended if children are using the device. If not enabled, the default behavior is primarily focused on filtering bot comments.
